Menus are confused in places

Succeeds in spite of Samsung's software hubs
Not because of
Flimsy back cover
Poor keyboard layout

Unnecessary software
Plastic chassis
Flimsy backplate
Screen may be too large for those with small hands

Both handsets sport very good call quality, despite that nothing extraordinary strong or clean is coming from their earpieces. Still, the quality is above average on both, and the receiving end could hear us loud and clear, especially from the Galaxy S...
Abstract: We've already written numerous articles about the highly anticipated, “new-and-improved” Motorola Droid Bionic that is soon heading to Verizon. Regular readers may recall the Bionic was postponed for ‘enhancements' and, most recently, gave you a sneak pea...
Abstract: Well, we're sure you've already picked your favorite, but we'll have a few of our usual parting words anyway. The HTC Sensation is a very good phone all round and the tests we ran gave us no reason to doubt it. But it's by no means perfect. The death ...
Abstract: In the IT world, seeing an absolutely top-notch product from a company trying to show itself in the best possible way and prove itself to the market isn’t such a rare occasion. However, experience has shown us that the heir to such a product rarely mat...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S remains one of the most popular phones on the market today, so popular in fact that Apple have attempted to take out a law suit against Samsung centred around the device. With a beautiful 4” Super AMOLED display, and a snappy Hummingb...
Abstract: Are you ready for more heavyweight droid action, with superclocked punches thrown around and more blood on the floor? It’s time for round two of our dual-core battle of the flagships.
